Deg Xinag is a Northern Athabaskan language spoken by the Deg Hit’an peoples in Shageluk and Anvik and at Holy Cross along the lower Yukon River in Alaska. The language is nearly extinct as most people are shifting to English.The language was referred to as Ingalik by Osgood (1936). While this term sometimes still appears in the literature it is today considered pejorative.
